    Yesterday I wrote how using the patched /sbin/mount in

      T64V51B19-C0136901-15143-ES-20020817.tar

    killed a running mountd with "User defined signal 1". I reported this to
    Compaq support, and within 24 hours they had the solution:

    > -------------------------------------------------------------------
    > Sounds like /usr/sbin/mountd and /usr/sbin/mount are out of sync.

    The PK5/BL19 megapatch (t64v51b19as0005-20020411.tar, that I had not
    installed) provides a replacement mountd of the "right" version. This
    problem was caused by me attempting to install the latest security patch
    "by hand", without the required megapatch.
